Custom build of Python

I had reason to build Python 2.6.8 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010. I was able to get the pcbuild solution to build, and I have the necessary exes/dlls/pyds in the amd64 build directory. What is not clear to is how to complete the build and make an installation. I could not find any documentation for this.

Any help on this matter would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

If you mean 'make a .msi file', I am not sure that is not officially
supported beyond the inclusion of msilib.

3.3 is now being built with VS2010. Perhaps its repository has something
that will help you.

Terry,

At this stage, I don't want or need an MSI. I just want something that will bundle the executables/dynamic load libraries + compiled Python files and stick them into a compliant directory structure.

Regards,

Tom
